Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your event in Hassell Street. Winter fairs in Hassell Street are dark by about 3:50pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:45pm by late May.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
